Wouldn't this be a traffic holding issue rather than SAM.
The BOM forecast weather, regs set out the fuel requirements. If weather is worse than forecast that's a BOM crew up, or was there a specific reference to nt carrying holding fuel with a temp on the TAF/TTF?
If aircraft can take off and and, however are delayed due traffic, the persons responsible for increasing traffic holding are responsible.
I have often contemplated the situation Krusty mentioned, approaching destination and surprise holding increases! I don't have it, pan pan and paperwork I guesss.
